FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and relates to an oxa spiro
derivative, a preparation method therefor, and uses thereof in medicines. Particularly,
the present invention relates to an oxa spiro derivative represented by formula (I),
a preparation method therefor, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the derivative,
use thereof as an MOR receptor agonist, and use thereof in the preparation of a medicament
for treating and/or preventing pain and pain-related diseases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Opioid receptor is an important G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and is the target
of combining endogenous opioid peptides and opioid drugs. The activated opioid receptors
play a regulatory role on immune of the nervous system and endocrine system. Opioid
drugs are the strongest and commonly used central analgesics. Endogenous opioid peptides
are naturally occurring opioid-like active substances in mammals. Currently, the known
endogenous opioid peptides can be roughly divided into enkephalin, endorphin, dynorphin
and nociceptin (
Pharmacol Rev 2007; 59: 88-123). There are correspinding opioid receptors in the central nervous system, i.e., µ
(MOR), δ (DOR), κ (KOR) receptors and the like. It is found that the strength of analgesic
effect of endogenous opioid peptides mainly depends on the expression level of opioid
receptors. Opioid receptors are the targets of analgesic effect of opioid drugs and
endogenous opioid peptides. Zadina et al found that the binding ability of MOR receptor
to morphine peptide 1 is strongest (360 pM). It's 4000 times that of DOR receptor
to morphine peptide 1, 15000 times that of KOR receptor to morphine peptide 1. The
MOR receptor is the most important opioid receptor that mediates analgesic effect
(
Science, 2001, 293: 311-315;
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 235:567-570;
Life Sci 61:PL409-PL415).
[0003] The current studies suggest that GPCR mediates and regulates physiological functions
mainly through two pathways: the G protein pathway and the β-arrestin pathway. The
G protein signaling pathway can be activated by the binding of the traditional GPCR
agonist to the receptor, and includes the second messenger system such as calcium
ion, adenyl cyclase (AC), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and on the like.
While the β-arrestin pathway is mainly activated by a β-arrestin-biased ligand. The
β-arrestin mediated GPCR response mainly includes three aspects: 1) β-arrestin as
a negative regulator is reacted with the G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK),
thereby causing receptor desensitization in GPCRs, and blocking the transduction of
G protein signaling; 2) β-arrestin as a scaffold protein recruits the endocytic protein
and induces the endocytosis of GPCR; 3) β-arrestin as an adapter protein forms a complex
with GPCR downstream signal molecules, and activates the signal transduction molecules,
such as MAPK, Src protein tyrosine kinase and Akt etc. in a G protein independent
manner. The differences of ligand stimulation on G protein signaling and/or β-arrestin
signaling ultimately determine the ligand-specific cellular biological effects of
GPCR.
[0004] MOR is the target of opioid analgesic drugs such as endogenous enkephalin and morphine.
Early studies have shown that endogenous enkephalin and opioid drug etorphine can
agonize G protein and cause receptor endocytosis, but morphine can not cause receptor
endocytosis at all. It is because the ability of morphine on agonizing MOR phosphorylation
is too weak, and only trace β-arrestin is recruited on the membrane (
Zhang et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1998, 95 (12): 7157-7162). These ligands exert their physiological functions totally through the G protein
signaling pathway rather than the β-arrestin pathway. The study found that after morphine
is injected to β-arrestin2 knockout mice, the analgesic effect mediated by G protein
signaling is stonger and the duration is longer (
Bohn et al., Science, 1999). It is foreseeable that if the negative β-arrestin bias of such ligands is stronger,
even they can escape the β-arrestin mediated receptor desensitization, thereby leading
to longer G protein signaling durations and more potent analgesic effects.
[0006] Long-term use of opioid drugs produces side effects such as tolerance, respiratory
depression and constipation. And it has been demonstrated that these side effects
are closely related to the function of β-arrestin. In order to reduce the side effects
of opioid drugs, the drugs can be designed based on the MOR negative β-arrestin-biased
ligand, thereby reducing the β-arrestin mediated side effects and enhancing the therapeutic
effect. In a study of the oxo spiro derivatives of the present invention used as selective
MOR drugs, Trevena Inc. has found that the activity is lower when the substituent
is on the benzylic position of the aryl (
J. Med. Chem. 2013, 56, 8019-8031), but after a series of studies , the present inventor has found the oxo spiro derivatives
have high activity after the benzylic position is cyclized, Emax was also significantly
improved, hERG was also improved significantly, and further studies found that the
compound with a single configuration has a higher selectivity for the MOR.

BIOLOGICAL ASSAY
[0188] The present invention will be further described with reference to the following test
examples, but the examples should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention.
Test Example 1
1. Experimental Object
[0189] The object of this experiment is to determine the agonistic effect of the compounds
of the present invention on MOR, KOR, DOR, and to evaluate the
in vitro activity of the compounds according to the values of EC
50 and Emax.
2. MOR activity test
2.1 Experimental Object
[0190] The compounds of the present invention can activate µ-opioid receptors (MOR). Activated
MOR can regulate intracellular cAMP level, and cAMP enters the nucleus and binds to
the CRE region of the reporter gene luciferase, thereby initiating the expression
of the reporter gene. Luciferase can react with its substrate to emit fluorescence,
and the measured fluorescence signals reflect the agonistic activity of the compounds.
2.2 Experimental Method
[0191] The activity of the test example compounds on agonizing MOR and affecting downstream
cAMP level was tested by the following method.

2.2 Experimental procedure of automatic patch clamp
[0207] HEK293-hERG stabilized cells were subcultured at a density of 1: 4 in a MEM/EBSS
medium (10% FBS, 400µg/ml G418, 1% MEM nonessential amino acid solution (100×), 1%
sodium pyruvate solution) for 48-72 hours, then the automatic patch clamp experiment
was performed. The cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin on the day of experiment,
then the cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended with extracellular
fluid (140 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl
2, 2 mM CaCl
2, 5 mM D-glucose monohydrate, 10 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 298 mOsmol) into a cell suspension.
The cell suspension was placed on the cell bank of the Patchliner instrument, and
the cells were added to the chip (NPC-16) by the negative pressure controller of the
Patchliner instrument, and the negative pressure attracted individual cells to the
small hole of the chip. After the whole cell model is formed, the instrument will
generate the hERG current according to the preset hERG current and voltage program,
and then the instrument can perfuse the compound from low concentration to high concentration
automatically. HEAK Patchmaster, HEAK EPC10 patch clamp amplifier (Nanion), Pathlinersoftware,
and a data analysis software provided by Pathcontrol HTsoftware were used to analyze
the current of the compounds at different concentration and the current of the blank
control.
